Astride a hilltop 40 minutes from Charlotte, North Carolina, this 125 acre partially-fenced property consists of a 4,000 square foot home with attached three car garage, a 50 X 48 workshop flanked on two sides by dirt-floored sheds (could be converted to stalls), a pair of three acre ponds, three meadows/pastures totaling 55 acres, nearly 70 wooded acres and a 1,000 square foot guest house or staff residence. Built in 1995, the extras expected in construction of this quality are very much in evidence in this striking residence. The home features a complete wraparound porch, a large rear deck and, situated over the attached three car garage, a large entertainment room replete with full bar and bathroom. From the front porch, the front door opens into the sizeable front hall and, to the right, leads to the formal Dining room. Ahead is the winding staircase to the second floor while a Powder room and an archway to the Greatroom lie just beyond and underneath the staircase. At the top of the stairway is a balcony connecting the two bedroom suites on the second floor and overlooking the main hallway at the front of the house and the great room at the rear. Off the back of the Dining Room and moving toward the rear of the home is the gourmet Kitchen with its wet bar and granite counter tops. Beyond the Kitchen (and separated from it by a snack bar housing a cook top) is a very comfortably sized informal dining area with its bay window looking out over the rear deck. To the right, off the eat-in area, is the good-sized pantry and utility room. From the utility room are other doors leading out to the deck, to a large Office, to the oversized three-car attached garage and, finally, to the wrap-around porch. Covered access is provided to the stairway, from this part of the porch, which leads above the Garage to the Entertainment room (with its full-sized wet bar and bathroom) and running the full length of the Garage. Paralleling the kitchen to its left, and accessible from either end of the kitchen, is the large and comfortable Great room. The Great room features French doors leading out onto the rear deck, a marble-trimmed gas log fireplace, a two and one-half story cathedral ceiling and an overlooking second floor balcony. Entering the Great room, and to the left under the balcony, is the entrance to the luxurious master suite, occupying the entire North end of the home and thus surrounded on three sides by the wraparound porch. The views - of ponds and gently rolling grasslands punctuated by mature trees - rival those to be seen at premier Kentucky blue-grass-country estates; the climate, however, is the moderate (but for the summer months), 4-season liveability of South Carolina.
